Administration

As of ActiveControl 9.10, all of the Windows GUI configuration screens are now available for authorised users via the Administration tile in the Web Platform UI.

ActiveControl Administrators are the only users who are able to make configuration changes within the various Administration screens. Any users with authorisation object Y_TEUSER-[CONFIG] will be able to view the configuration screens, but not make any changes. All other users will not see the tile on their home screen. ActiveControl 9.00 introduced some of the new Administration related capabilities, namely Feature Deactivation and Targets (specifically for Control Point Labelling). ActiveControl 9.10 brings across all other configuration screens previously available in the legacy Windows GUI thick client.

Most of the information and options available on the Administration Screen will be familiar to existing ActiveControl Administrators, albeit with the different look and feel of the new Web Platform UI. The rest of this section of the Release Notes focusses on the new (or notably enhanced) screens introduced as part of ActiveControl 9.10. Details on all the Administration screens can be found in the separate Administration Guide.

!Please note that the Windows GUI thick client will be retired and completely removed from the product as of ActiveControl 9.20. Basis Technologies therefore strongly recommend that existing customer Administrators begin to transition over to use the new Web Platform based administration screens as part of ActiveControl 9.10, rather than continuing to use the Windows GUI. Some of the new Administration capabilities such as Feature Deactivation and Control Point Labelling are only seen within the new Web Platform screens, but not in the legacy UIs.
